REFORM IN mASSACHUSETTS,
It is in Massachusetts that the Civil Service
reformers have been most numerous and vo-
ciferous, and they succeeded in the early part
of this reform administration in attracting
enough attention to themselves to have some
influence in the matter of appointments to
Office. But the Democrats of Massachusetts,
realize that the dream of the mugwump is
DER, for this time at least Therefore an at
tempt has been made to call Collector Salton-
stall to account for an improper distribution
of the political loaves entrusted to his stew-
ardship. The subject had been taken up in
meeting of the Democratic State central
committee: the old-fashioned spoils system
received approval there, and subcommittee
was appointed to ascertain why the spoils
system was not everywhere applied The
demand made upon Collector Saltonstall was,
therefore, an official demand.
The ub-committee called upon Collector
Saltonstall according to the programme and
announced that as the Democrats of Massa-
chusetts were much annoyed at the delay in
making clean sweep of the Republicans in
federal offices, they had come to look over his

them were not Democrats and why they have
been retained in Office. To this blunt de-
mand Mr.. Saltonstall coolly replied that he
could not recognize the committees right, as
a committee, to make any such inquiries.
Here is pretty kettle of fish. Has not
the postal department been thoroughly reor-
ganizeda Is not the Interior department
purged? Is not Higgins still on the thronea
Has not Senator Voorhees, of Indiana declared
that all the Republican oficeholders of that
State have been removed? Has not 'the
sweep" been pretty clean in the other Statesa
Is the President still mugwump? IF not
why can't the Democrats of Massachusetts,
have what belongs to thema That's what
they want to know, and although they do not
seem to have had frst-rate success so far in
finding out they have no idea of giving up
the inquiry just because a mugwump Col

A man and his trained bear were an attrao-

record, but that he hoped to bring about a

cure.
There are some very stubborn people in
this world. One of them is John Griffiths,
who lives at Cbarlottetown, Prince Edwards
Island. policeman arrested John for non
payment of sixty-three cents tax on per-
sonal property. Grifiths paid his real estate
and poll tax, but resisted payment of the
sixty-three cents on the ground that it wasn't
due. The policeman handcuffed and jailed
Grifiths. Then Grifiths brought suit against
the city for false Imprisonment and recovered
a verdict for $780, The city appealed to the
full bench of the Supreme court, but failed
to get the verdict quashed. Being beaten at
every point, the city officials neglected to re.
spond to Grifiths' request for payment, and
he sued out an execution for $747, the amount
of the verdict and costs. This brought the
mayor to his senses and he Immediately
signed check for the amount, but the sheriff
demanded his fee for serving the execution.
The mayor refused to pay this fee, and Grif-
iths declined to accept the city's check

Diseases Contracted From slower
Anfmals'


The CLOVER animals as we are pleased to
call them, have way of reyenging them
selves for some of the injuries they receive
from the higher animal, man. They con-
tract diseases in mild form and oommuni-
cate them as virulent epidemies to their mas
ters The COW has slight attack of scarla-
tina--so slight that it hardly causes her in
convenience-and deadly infection, breaks
out among those who drink of her milk.
From report which has just been compiled
by Dr. George Turner for the local govern
ment board, it appears that diphtheria may
be one of the diseases which We catch from
animals. Pigeons suffer from Group, horses
and swine from ''strangles," lambs from sore
throat; all which affections, DR.. Turner
thinks, may develop into diphtheria in hu-
man beings. The worst offender is the do
nestle cat, which is very liable to suffer
from a cold in the head and chest, and to
pass it on in much worse form to children.

CONGO PIGMIES.
The Cunning LiIiputians Living in the
Heart of frfca

Heart of Africa.
From the San Francisco Examiner.J
Ronzo de Leo, who travelled many years in
Africa with DR.. Livingstone, was one who
almost stood out alone in the assertion that a
race of dwarfs lived in central Africa. In
| his lectures in America he told of little
people who fed to the clefts of the rocks
when the explorers approached. G. Eugene
Wolff, who travelled many years with STAN
| ley, and who is now in this city, gives some
queer accounts of these dwarfs. "On the
southern branches of the Congo" said he to
an Examiner reporter, "I have seen whole
villages OF these Liliputians. They are a
generous little people, who live in rude huts
and clear grounds, engaged in varied sorts of
agriculture. They are also skilled hunters
and they make palm wine They are as
1.-THE and supple in climbing trees as monkeys
or balloons, although they are physically as
perfect men as any of the giant tribes there
about, and they know as much. The men
are not over four feet and a half high, while
the women are good deal smaller. These
tiny little men are both brave and cunning.
They are experts with the bow and arrow and
readily bring down the African bison, ante
lope and even elephants with them. As
trappers of small animals they are unsur-
passed. In close pinch they use the lance
with astonishing dexterity, and an ordinary
sling in their hands is welded with wonder
full skill. The dwarfs collect the sap of the
palm, with which they make soap. The
men are smooth faced and Of rich ma
hogany color, while the hair is short, kin
ky and as black as night. Tens of thou
sands of them live on the south branch of the
Congo. They are an affable, ind-hearted
people, of simple ways and devoid of vi
cious tendencies to a greater degree than
most semi -barbaric races. The women are
industrious and amiable. Very queer those

Shortly after the war, when the disburse-
ments on account of pensions were not a
fifth of what they are now, payments were
made semi-annually. This did not fully meet
the convenience of bene6ciaries and the sys-
tenn of quarterly payments was introduced.
Provident pensioners find this method rea-
sonably satisfactory. Twenty millions a
quarter, or nearly that sum, is now paid at
the various pension agencies in the country,
and passes into general circulation, for the
mass of pensioners are not in position to
hoard their stipends. Agitation commences
now for law requiring the disbursement of
pensions monthly. This would entail vast
expense upon the government, and, on the
whole, would prove of doubtful utility for
the pensioner.
At recent meeting of the Berlin Medical
society Professor Mendel introduced a patient,
a we'll to. do mechanic, who regularly at nine
o'clock in the morning loses the power of
speech and hearing, remaining deaf mute
until six O'Clock of the following morning.
From six to nine O'Clock he hears and speaks
| as we'll as anybody. This peculiar trouble
showed itself first last year as sequel to an
epileptic attack. The patient, whose mental
powers have not suffered, exhibits another
curious anomaly. If certain spot in the
| joint of the right hand is pressed he is at
once seized with convulsions; if certain
spot on the right upper arm is pressed the
commissions instantly disappear. Professor
Mendel made this experiment twice before
the assembled physicians. He was unable te
give the cause of these abnormal conditions
but considered them related to the hysterico
epileptic manifestations sometimes seen il
/ women. Their origin is probably to b'
sought in temporary interruption of thu
nerve functions involved in the process O
hearing and speaking. Professor Mende
raid that there was but one analogous case OF
